This is a book that kept me curious but confused throughout, awaiting the next twist and trying to figure out what was what and who was what and who was who. To me, it felt like we were discovering the truth alongside Rose and navigating the strange new world she was waking up in. I found that all the characters were brilliantly rendered and in depth, though the romance element was a bit puzzling in its suddenness. Edinburgh was a perfect setting for the story and that leant another layer of wonder. It was written wonderfully and was consistently engaging. I look forward to any future books by the author. no reviews | add a review
The Lost Girls is a dark and twisty supernatural thriller, perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman. Edinburgh student, Rose MacLeod, has been losing time for as long as she can remember. Days and weeks disappear, leaving terrifying gaps in her memory. Now she is seeing horrifying visions; waking nightmares of violence and death. Around the world young women like her are being killed and Rose has a ringside seat. Mal Fergusson was raised to hunt demons across Scotland. With his father dead and his brother in a coma, he no longer believes in the grand battle between good and evil. Instead, he scrapes a living as an investigator and hitman for the supernatural Mafia of Edinburgh. Tensions are rising in Scotland's capital and Mal must capture Rose to keep his demonic boss sweet - but is he really willing to harm an innocent to do so? No library descriptions found. |
